27 New York continued New: There is more! To boost our educational program and communications to our members, the Scientific Advisory Committee (chaired by Giorgio Dell’Acqua PhD), reviewed programming for Suppliers’ Day and also created and participated in a standing room only program at MAKE UP NYC this was the inaugural “technology share” event and one that should continue at other, related industry events. A member initiative that included a mentorship program was spearheaded by a committee co-chaired by Mohamed Abdulla & Mohamed Omer. We participated in a “Walk With Walsh” where Cathy Piterski was able to speak about all of the programs that make-up NYSCC and how Suppliers’ Day in NY is the anchor of events not only for the NY CHAPTER but Nationally (this social segment captures 20,000+ viewers). To enhance exhibitor and attendee engagement and interaction at Suppliers’ Day while also allowing attendees to make the most efficient use of their time on-site, we launched COSMETIC RAWS: a robust, searchable database that allows Suppliers’ Day exhibiting companies to upload almost unlimited information on their raw materials/ingredients. We also hosted the HAPPI Anti-Aging Conference at Suppliers’ Day, and again held a press event in NYC during IN COS North America at ULIVO – a restaurant that highlights essential ingredients. NYSCC continues with scholarship donations to universities and sponsored students from sister chapters to join the FUTURE CHEMISTS WORKSHOP for the first time (students came from Chicago/MWSCC and Florida chapters). We anticipate expanding this program and inviting students from other chapters in the future. In the Fall we established a partnership with American Perfumery Association to co-host a FRAGRANCE track at Suppliers’ Day 2019. While in Munich at IFSCC’s Congress, we confirmed our participation as a benefactor of IFSCC moving forward. To strengthen international appeal and continue to expand our global audience, we also initiated conversations with IKW on a SAFETY/REGULATORY PROGRAM for Suppliers’ Day 2019. To end the year, we finalized an agreement with CEW to formally sponsor the CEW Supplier’s Award: Ingredients and Formulations. We will announce the winner at NYSCC AWARDS NIGHT on May 7th – just like the iconic awards programs host TECHNICAL/SCIENTIFIC AWARDS in advance of the actual “awards day,” we will follow suit. The winner will then be introduced again on video at the CEW BEAUTY AWRDS 10 days later. This is a key partnership, CEW allows us to have a voice to 9,000 cosmetic executives spanning many disciplines within their organizations – many of whom are in the NY area and could have interest in participating/ attending our programs. CEW members are also a highly desirable demographic for suppliers.
